In a groundbreaking move, NBA’s all-time 3-point leader, Stephen Curry, and WNBA’s single-season 3-point record holder, Sabrina Ionescu, are set to face off in a 3-point contest during the upcoming All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis on Feb. 17. This marks the first time in history that players from the NBA and WNBA will compete directly in this exciting event.
Curry, representing the Golden State Warriors, will take shots from the NBA 3-point line using official NBA basketballs. In contrast, Ionescu, from the New York Liberty, will showcase her skills from the WNBA 3-point line using WNBA basketballs. The anticipation for this unique competition began when Curry hinted at the idea on Jan. 25, and Ionescu promptly accepted the challenge on social media.
Fans can expect a thrilling clash between these two iconic shooters, with Ionescu aiming to build on her 2023 WNBA All-Star 3-point shootout victory, where she set a historic record. Curry, holding the previous record, will undoubtedly bring his A-game to this historic showdown, promising an unforgettable All-Star Weekend moment.
